What did you get done?

I didn't get a darn thing accomplished. I had good intentions, but they went the sh!t in a hand basket. I got up early yesterday and washed my daily driver because it was nasty from the rain all week. I spent the rest of the day running service calls, in the rain. So much for my clean truck.

This morning I washed my truck and my Wife's Yukon XL. Did a little pool maintenance, then went on a service call, IN THE RAIN. So much for my clean truck x2.

So I figure I will finally get a chance to work on my 77 and put the alt belt on that I has been laying on my bench for three weeks. I pop the hood to find my ratchet and socket hanging on the alternator. No big deal except I started it yesterday. Fortunately that was only a scare. I try to install my new belt, only to find it's way too short.

In the meantime I notice oil leaking from the front of the motor. I try to air the truck up to see where it's coming from, but the compressor won't kick on. I check the fuse and it's blown. No biggie, right? I spend 15 minutes looking for a pack of fuses that should have been in my glove box.

I run off to the parts store to get the correct belt and a pack of 30 amp fuses. One more try at installing it and being productive. No chance! This belt is longer, but still not long enough. WTF! I look at the part numbers on all three belts and they are the same. I have no clue whats going on, but now I have to try again.

I look at the clock and see it's 5 minutes before the parts store closes, and they are 15 minutes from me. So I put everything back up and walk away.....

What did you get done?
